Hi Myke,

It was sold in the US as a Sears Allstate in the 1960s. It's the "twingle" engine: 2 piston, single cylinder. I had one of those. I've had a lot of the "catalog bikes". I've got a few Montgomery Ward bikes (Benelli), and the parts to build a Sears (Gilera). One's in my living room right now.

Parts aren't that hard to find. They don't sell for much on eBay. email me, and I can point you to sites, since these aren't really the overland bike of choice.

Those are one of my favorite bikes. Seeing the film on your site makes me wish I had restored it instead of getting it in parts and letting it go in parts. Maybe I'll buy my friend's DKW which is pretty close to that and fix it up. After India of course. Oh, and I need to fix up an H-modified race car too. Sometimes (once in a rare while), I'll actually complete one of my projects.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
